This war of the sexes thing has been an ongoing issue for like, at least 8 years, I think. Or maybe a couple of millennia. The only tangible difference between stone slates identifying the moral failings of men and women and twitter posts doing the same are that women are now allowed to own property. Getting offended over pop culture wars is silly.
Wars don’t require fault, only a casus belli. And often not even that much. Otherwise, trans people would share fault over other ongoing culture wars that pundits arbitrarily pulled them into from the hat of low representation.
But really, caring about any of this beyond recognizing that women want to feel safer is silly. And I’m pretty sure they’ll get their wish, considering society is trending safer by the day. And then, in 2 years, women will rise in defiance of, I don’t know, single parent stereotypes, and I will care just as little, as a non-judgmental person
While society may be trending safer in actuality, it seems people's perception is that it's trending towards the dangerous.
I'm sure this has nothing to do with the 24/7 ~~ragebait~~ ~~fearbait~~ "news" cycle nor social media, nooooo.
But in effect that means no matter how safe it gets, they won't feel safe by design so those companies and influencers can make more money.
It's a war because people like you make it a binary thing. The entire purpose of this particular video was to create divide and paint men in bad light to farm engagement.
I'm not offended by this because I'm a "sensitive insecure men who insist it's always somehow the woman's own fault when she gets raped"
I don't actually believe that.
I'm just annoyed. I'm just a harmless guy trying to live my life yet I am constantly being told that I am worse than hitler for existing as a male. Sorry I have a penis? I swear I didn't do it on purpose. It just kinda grew in me I didn't have a say.
Please, by all means, pick the bear if you want to or don't. I don't care. Leave me the fuck alone, it's all I am asking. I just want to exist in peace. Stop bothering me with that shit.
I didn't assume you were a woman. At no point in my comment I mentioned gender except my own.
I'm not surprised someone likes you makes everything about gender and completely missed the point.
Bears don't discriminate gender.
See, you did the thing again where you just straight up invent things about me.
I never claimed I was entitled to trust and respect.
Also, wow did you just assume I am straight?
I hope you find someone who chooses man and guides you towards being less of a twat.
Careful, he's sensitive! You might offend him! Just leave him alone, why don't you?!?
These dudes are so, so, SO whiny. Literally on a thread where no one invited them just saying "I'M NICE BUT LEAVE ME ALONE" lolololol
People not trusting strangers is normal. People who think they are owed exemption from this are untrustworthy.
Sometimes you gotta think about who's asking the question and why, and not just about the answer. (To that original question.)
Oh, I know that.
Who's asking: morons.
Why: engagement farming.
It could be, or it could be for more nefarious purposes such as sowing discontent and distrust.
Nah, I don't think so. The discontent and distrust is a side effect.
Men could be better than a bear at any time, yet they choose to be more dangerous than bears every year.
Curious.
Wait, is that actually happening??
Edit: I thought you meant crime statistics were going up. Don’t mind me
Gang violence is trending up - I guess it's not a crime though, if the people who decide what's a crime say it's okay.
That's six months out of date
You're right, those six months have changed the trend of the past 12 years.
If anything I bet under Trumps America, murders by police have only gone down.
Are we counting murders by police as explicit violence causing injury and death, or are we also counting people being thrown in concentration camps and given below-the-minimum-standard access to basic necessities and healthcare?

Yeah, ‘94. Couldn’t be more than 5 or 6 years since then.
don't make me tap the sign
